PARKERsBURG, November 23.-An ar
ticle in a Wheeling paper, headed The
Happy Family" caused considerable COM
ment in this city to-day. The use OF Sena-
tor Camden's name in the article, and the
free and easy manner in which predictions
were made were very amusing to local poll
ticians. In Parkersburg the IntelEgeaeer
is by no means looked upon as a political
prophet. The faithful have been too often
lead astray by the chirpings OF sweet
Birdie" and little confidence is put in
their predictions. To put it lightly this
ludicrous attempt to stir up discord among
Democrats was not received with uprOarious
marks of approval. Republicans down
here have not forgotten, that when the fight
was on, and the battle ragged hottest, the
little man "who was born on bright Sun
day morning" was not conspicuous by his
all consuming enthusiasm in the struggle,
and took the first opportunity to throw
bomb in their ranks.
Presley Morris is said to have dreamt
dream or to have seen . vision in which the
IateliigsAcer press appeared plentifully
smeared with coal oil. OF course, Pres
ley's mind was wandering, but it will
TAKE SEVERAL INTERVIEWS
with prominent Democrats" to induce
him to sheath the little case knife that he
has been wbettingsO long for the hteiiigeR-
GERS scalp Presley has even been known in
the cruelty of his revengeful spirit TO make
a few irreverent remarks about eve
necked bicycle and pompadour hair and q
Philadelphia dude, but then Presley always
was inconsiderate, and didn't care snap
for lacerating the tender feelings Of an as
piring youth.
1t is, moreover, whispered that the stall
wart Republican who guides the fortunes
of the JOUrRT', loves Wheeling only
"Cholly" with a love that will only he satjs-
fed with rich, red gore. His admiration
is so intense that it takes some words not
commonly used in polite society TO eX-
press it. When the Wood county Repub-
iicans consider these things they are apt to
loos upon the publication Of
A SILLY STORY
about a probable fight between Messrs.
Camden and Kenua, emanatlng from the
source it does, as Just little bit cheeky,
and entirely too weak to eutitle the party
renegade TO a high seat in the councils of
the faithful.
Among Democrats here the expression
OF sentiment is unanimous. Ii Is too ut
terly silly to talk about. Nothing short
of absolute proof would be sufficient to con-
vince Mr. Camden and his friends that Mr
Kenna did not render him the staunChest
and most uuwaveriug support IN the Sen
atorial contest. There was no evidence
from the very beginning to the end OF the
struggle that there was anything but the
utmost cOrdiality OF feeling existing be
tween the two distinguished gentlemen.
Mr.. Camden himself, candid, honorable
man, would he the
LAST IN THE WORLD
TO suspect the faithfnlDess of his former
colleague. That ne would stoOp to make
terms with his ancient opponents, in order
to stab a friend in the back IS
statement that his friends here would re-
sent in a moment if it came from source
and in a manner that would make 1t
worthy of their notice.
The Democrats of this county and of the
whole Fourth district are prepared TO give
a firm and united support to their party
nominees. No jealousy or chickering's will
be allowed TO come in the way of success.
Your reporter interviewed several Of the
leaders of the local Democracy, with the
following results:
Hon. d. II. Leonard said "The hteH-
gearsy is wrong this time. / will not be
anybody's lieutenant at the next Senatorial
contest in West Virginia. ! don't expect
to be in West Virginia at that time. Mr..
Camden will not be in the race"
President Geo w. Thompson said: "All
Mr., Camden asks
Is To BE LET ALONE.
lie is full @! business of importance to this
part of the State, and is out OF politics so
E.r as personal interests are concerned.
Col. w. n. Chancellor said: "Or course
Mr.. Camden is interested in politics to
some extent, but does not intend contest
ing for Kebna's place. lie is attending
exclusively to his big business enter
prises
Mr.. Camden himself declines to talk on
politics, and says: IL am giving my at
tentiOn entirely 10 my business." "
This is the general Democratic senti-
ment The statements concerning Mr..
Camden's future political course are en-
tireiy without foundation. The hieti-
qeacer's prominent Democratic politi-
clan" Was probably either the printers
devil, or the youthful sweet one who first
opened his infant eyes I'm the city of
churches"
